Your Monopoly GO name is the first thing friends notice, especially when you are swapping stickers, joining events, or checking the leaderboard. A default label can feel a bit dull after a while, so changing it is worth considering. You might even want a name that fits the teamwork and friendly competition of the Monopoly Go Partners Event. The option is tucked inside your profile rather than on the main board, but it only takes a minute to find.

Finding the name editor

Open the game and wait until the main board appears. Tap the three-line menu in the upper-right corner. A panel will slide out, showing your avatar and current name near the top. Tap that profile area, not one of the general settings. You will then see your avatar choices and account details. Look beside your name for the small pencil symbol. That is where the edit control lives, although its availability can depend on how many times you have already changed your name.

Changing the name without mistakes

Tap the pencil and enter a new name in the CHANGE NAME box. The name normally needs at least three characters, so a single initial will not work. Keep it easy for friends to recognise, and check the spelling before you send it. The game may limit the number of edits on an account. Current player reports commonly mention three changes, with the first one usually free and later requests sometimes asking for diamonds. The exact rules can change after an update, so read the prompt shown on your own screen.

Open the three-line menu from the main board.
Tap your profile picture and current name.
Choose the pencil icon beside the name.
Enter at least three characters.
Review the spelling, then tap SUBMIT.

Quick reference before you confirm

When the name changes by itself

A Facebook connection can sometimes replace your chosen identity with the name or picture attached to that profile. If your name switches to a default such as Buddy plus numbers, open the game settings and disconnect the account, then connect it again. Give the app a moment to refresh before checking your profile. If you still cannot edit the name, the allowance may have been used up, or the feature may be temporarily unavailable. Once your profile looks right, you can spend time choosing a matching avatar and keep useful items nearby when you buy Monopoly Go Stickers for your collection.
